How the SVS Foundation changes lives and careers
"It is hard to over-estimate the impact of the jointly sponsored SVS/NHLBI K08 award on my career. It was truly transformative. It set the stage for a future R01, an independent laboratory, and a career-long relationship with the NIH."
Larry W. Kraiss, MD
"The SVS Foundation award was a critical and defining event in my career. The K08 award allowed me to build my laboratory and devote my career to fundamental investigation of vascular disease."
Alan Dardik, MD, PhD
“The SVS Foundation support of me, and people like me, has been fantastic. It is evident that the successes in my future will be directly related to the rich vascular surgeon-scientists alumni.”
Luke Brewster, MD, PhD
“This was a transformative award in many ways, translating into a R01 Grant and the opportunity to lead a large Phase III clinical trial. I learned a great deal about career development that has, hopefully, made me an effective mentor to other young investigators."
Michael Conte, MD
“The SVS Foundation Award was absolutely critical in allowing me to get a solid head start on my research career. It provided money to offset clinical duties and obtain supplies and salary for a technician."
Peter Henke, MD
“The SVS Foundation Award, along with the K08 Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health, provided me with the protected time to conduct research and financial support for both my salary and research-related expenses. I am extremely grateful."
Melina R. Kibbe, MD
“The SVS Foundation K08 Award tremendously accelerated the overall academic activities of the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at our university."
C. Keith Ozaki, MD
